The name of the tarball that is published as part of the release is 
important, that I agree, maybe not "very" important, but important 
anyhow. But what you are saying is that if the name of the file 
generated by default by the Makefile is not exactly the same as the 
tarball that will be published as part of the release then it is 
"totally invalid". That is going too far, in my opinion.
